The architecture of the Duomo
With its main spire towering 109 metres above Milan's central square, the cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The cathedral's roof, which can be accessed by an elevator or by ascending the stairs, features a forest of spires topped with statues and provides visitors with magnificent views of the surrounding city. The interior is adorned with artwork including paintings and sculptures such as Marco d'Agrate's famous depiction of 'Saint Bartholomew Flayed' (1562) as well as 3 ornamental altars. The cathedral's apse features stained glass windows created in the fifteenth century.
